"Cinnamon roll"

I have been gluten free for over 9 years now. And I will admit there are still a few things I have yet to find a reasonable GF facsimile of.
Well, Flying apron bakery http://www.flyingapron.com/ just took Cinnamon rolls off that list.
The sweet bread dough was soft, moist and tender, but held up well enough to un-roll the bun to eat it. (Which I might add it 60% of why I love them.) The frosting was a subtle glaze, that let the roll shine. Pecans and Cinnamon in a fine balance. They were individually crafted/baked kind of rolls. Like my grandmother
If you prefer the pan baked style with Cream-cheese frosting, and a more syrupy cinnamon to your roll (a la that famous cinnamon roll place in the mall) then I recommend http://haleyscorner.com/ as exactly what your looking for. But last time I was there they had all sold out, 'cause they only make them on Friday and they closed at 6 so I could not get there until Saturday. I just checked there web menu and I could not find "Cinnamon rolls" listed, so perhaps it's by request only?
I will say that is one flaw with most of the GF bakeries I know. The menu's are so large that you don't know what they won't have on a given day. In my case you can drive for hours and then find out they don't have what you want. That is my biggest problem with Davinci's too.
So I guess my request is if a GF bakery owner ever reads this: Make a few things, make them well and make then often.

Sandwich bread.

Most of the Gluten free brands of bread in My Co Op are too porous. As in you spread the slice with jam and it runs right through a hole onto the plate, or your hand. Can't make grilled cheese if the bread has holes.
My old "go to" of sandwich bread had always been Ener-G Brown rice loaf. I was never fond of the smell, but it's consistent spongy texture toasted nicely.
This week there was a new product in the Gluten free freezer at the CoOp. Udi's Gluten Free Whole Grain Bread.
I microwaved two slices, and they smelled good, and had good texture. The slices are porous, but the holes are not as large, or as deep as other brands. Toasted nicely. I am about half way through the loaf and I really like it.
Tomorrow I will try making it into french toast.

See's Candy

According to the See's Candy Allergen Info PDF :
These products contain gluten:

EggNog Truffle (0.8 oz)
Orange Pumpkin (0.8 oz)
Candy Canes
Halloween Orange and Chocolate Creams
Climber Canes
Puppet Candy Sticks
Mayfair Egg (4.2 oz)
Chocolate Butter Egg (6 oz)
Chocolate Butter with Walnut Egg (7.5 oz)
Dark Chocolate Butter Egg (4 oz)
Peanut Butter Egg (4 oz)
Chocolate Walnut Heart (3 oz)
Bordeaux Heart (3 oz)
Peanut Butter Heart (3 oz)
Dark Raspberry Heart (3 oz)
Thanksgiving Chocolate Creams

You don't have to memorize this list. They all have ONE thing in common.
Let me share the secret with you. The reason that the "dark raspberry Heart" has gluten and the regular dark raspberry candy does not, is that the Hart has a small candy decoration on it. The decoration is made up of flour, sugar and water. Same for the Candy Canes, the little person on the cane is not GF, but the candy cane is. The Easter eggs decorations, and the wreaths on the eggnog ones are all made with wheat. ALL of the things See's listed as containing gluten are decorated with Wheat. So all of the non decorated candies are Gluten free. Behind the case, is all gluten free. And sooooo Yummy! I work there. I love it all!

O' cookie

I got several brands of Chocolate cookies with vanilla cream filling from our local CoOp grocery. There were 5 contestants in all, and four judges.
Winners: KinniTOO & Glutino tied for first.

KinniTOOS: Sweetest filling. Cookies had a good chocolate flavor with good crunch. They stood up best to dunking in Cow Milk, and Soy milk.
Glutino tied for first because they tasted the most like the non GF.

I don't want to make a negative product reviews, but the other brands were either flavorless, or tasted a little to much like shortening. Either way, not as yummy.
For MY money, I go with the KinniTOOS.

Apple Pie

I made this Apple Pie with Gluten-Free Pantry perfect pie crust mix. It rolled out good. Often with GF crust it falles apart when you try to top the pie. But this one holds up well. As you can see, once it was baked the crust was good mix of Crumply/flakey.
I also like to use Camio applies with my Granny smith. I LOVE Cameo apples.
My family was together for thanksgiving, and My mother offered my brother an apple “what kind” “Jonny gold” “No thanks, I like Roman” Then she offered me and apple. “No thanks I like Cameo.” My mother remarked that she had not raised “apple snobs”. I guess growing up in the North West can do that.
One box of mix is enough to makes four nine inch crusts. So I have two crusts leftover to make more pie…Pumpkin and turtle? We will see …

Hello World

Hello World this is Miles From Ordinary.
I know I am “so two years ago” on this, but I have been thinking I wanted to do this for years, but that my life is not interesting enough. Well, I think that there are TV shows out there about people who are LESS interesting then me, so why not?
I think most of my posts will focus on two things.
I sew.
I eat Gluten free.
Just Gluten free. I don’t say "Just" like it’s not a big deal, ‘cause it is. I say “Just” ‘cause that is the only part that is complicated. I use Eggs, milk, yeast, nuts…all that other stuff. It’s “Just” the gluten I had to eliminate. Been over 10 years now. But I’m sure we’ll talk more about that later.
I’m sure we’ll have lots to talk about.

A note about my writing.
I'm also Dyslexic, and about a half dozen other learning disabilities. I was diagnosed in second grade, re-whatevred in high school, and again in college. I do proof read and spell check, but I don't have a BETA reader, so please forgive errors.
Thanks
